I found the new Wolfgang 3.0 TSR and FG on sale a little while back that put them at a lower price point then the Menzerna SIP and 106ff they're supposed to be based on.
Anyways, I had a couple hours and a black BMW to play around with. Granted, I only took one shot (should have done an IPA wipedown) with a small point and shoot so I apologize for that.
The TSR was used with a PC, Orange 5.5 CCS LC pad for one pass
The FG was used with a PC, White 5.5 CCS LC pad for also one pass
I have minimal experience with Menzerna so I can't really compare the workability etc between the two but the Wolfgang is marketed as having less dusting. While the dusting was minimal...it was definitely there, unlike the Optimum line which I came from.
While doing the second half of the hood I had a strange occurence. After whiping off the polish I noticed what looked like fresh maring in thin lines. After a closer look it turned out to be polish..maybe gunked up, but not sure why it was in such thin long lines...maybe the pad. These were removed with a little elbow grease behind the MF or I left them and the FG application took them out.
Like most other polishes, less is more. I haven't quite figured out when either product is fully broken down and just used the finger swipe test. If a finger swipe revealed pretty product free paint I was done, if it left a greasy swipe I kept going. I'm very open to recommendations and suggestions here.
Tomorrow I'll be trying at least FG on a Subaru, hopefully that's all it will need.
On to the picture.. I really should have cleaned up the dusting before the shot but I think the 50/50 is still obvious
